Doyle Woody laid off from ADN today. Sad for one of the better hockey beat writers out there (sorry Seawolves but it’s true, don’t fault the man for writing about what his bosses told him to write about).

Just saw his tweet. You know, a few months ago I took a survey about the ADN and the survey asked for opinions about several of the papers writers. Doyle Woody was one of them. I know a lot of hockey fans cancelled their subscriptions mainly due to Doyle's mean spirited articles. (Both UAA and Aces articles). Can't say I'm surprised by this news.
UAA retweeted sad to see you go, thanks for the great coverage of UAA hockey, are you ****ing kidding me?!
The man just got fired. So He down, do you step on his neck ? I don't think so. Me and Doyle got along. The best time had with Doyle and Bubba rolled with us that road trip was a Badger series over Halloween . Sitting out in front of the hotel with full red cups after the game watching the legions of kids going to state street in costume and then venture up to state street but leave before the tear gas was dispensed to the begging crowd. Doyle best of luck in the future.

I never understood the hate for the guy. Snarky sometimes, sure, but for a market as small and isolated as ANC/AK is, it could have been a whole lot worse.
It's interesting how some gloat when someone else loses their job. Classy. I also find it interesting that fans can criticize players, coaches, administrators and a program as a whole, but if a broadcaster or writer does it, he's mean spirited. Best wishes to Doyle. Always enjoyed his coverage.
In summation…
…the truth hurts

…Gov Cup is fast approaching
it will still be the same ol’, same ol’!
What is “my generation?I guess you forgot the down-river, kicks to the gut of UAA hockey. As far back as I can remember (15+ years), remember when he was relived of his duties of covering of UAA hockey? Guess why he was fired then. Remember the d-riding he did of the Aces, the rubbing which manifested into UAA articles and stories. He should have been fired for good a long time ago. Hope you feel good taking the "high road" of a guy who was paid to beat UAA up and down all over the paper for far too long. Oh and yeah a couple personal good memories of a person makes up for what they did "professionally".
You wouldn't know unless you lived with it for 15+ years, your paper had better coverage of UAA hockey. Could've been worse......now that's a village mindset. Plenty of people looking for a job who actually would've given a **** about what they spew out.
15+ years of battering one of the teams you get paid to cover, yeah I'm not the only irked fan out there. Doyle must've missed the professional integrity course, again he was fired from covering UAA hockey for awhile (guess why?). When you get paid to do something, I was raised to do it well. Guess your generation wasn't taught this. If you make 100k+ for some low double/high single win seasons, the gabble will start. When you get paid to cover a team, and make a mockery of them for 15+ years, the gabble will start. When you play like a freaking idiot and constantly hurt your team for 4 seasons, the gabble will start. When your school builds a new state of the art arena and not include ice (also promise a new separate hockey arena while the oil prices were tanking), the gabble will start. When your team is regulated to buildings that were built 30/40 years ago and even after renovations are sub-standard to even nWCHA schools, the gabble will start.
At least I show some passion, the complaining is due to the high standards I wish my team could achieve. Does that make me more of a fan?
Jesus Christ I find myself siding with JJ more and more. I'm sick of losing, and the mentality of oh it'll will get better, the guy who beat our team left and right is a really good guy, I'm sick of the same old-same old, are you?

Well thank you for the age compliment because I don’t fit that time frame at all. My generation was raised to work hard and we do.
MOST of the UAA posters don't fit that age group.![]()
If not part of the solution, you are part of the problem.
Have you wrote your dear friend's in Juneau and the the circle of power up north?
Every time you see one of your reps do you remind them you are ****ed and you vote?
mine know me by name ...one is on top my personal S list.
Don't sit here blaming Doyle for every thing. Dude...... He just wrote crap to sell papers....his job.
